An air purification system is one of the most effective ways of removing allergens and particles from your indoor environment. When purchasing an air purification system, it is important to understand what options are out there. Not all air purification systems are created equal, with some removing large particles without extracting microscopic allergens. If you choose a HEPA filter, you could remove even more tiny particles, including nasty stuff such as bacteria or viruses!
What Is an Air Purification System?
An air purification system has a fan that draws air through a filter and then recirculates the particle-free air. Air purification systems are often installed into heating and cooling systems in homes. Specialized and portable air purification systems are also available that work to extract pollutants and allergens from the atmosphere.
Types of Filters
There are several types of filters available for use with air filtration systems. Media filters are made from mesh, paper, or fibre. Media filters create a physical barrier that blocks the particles from passing through the system. The physical media used to filter the air needs to be changed regularly. Electronic filters use UV light and other technology to trap particles passing through the system. A high-voltage charge is used to attract particles to the filter and trap them in place. UV light is a controversial option for air purification systems because some allergens are UV-resistant.
What About HEPA Filters?
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters became popular during the pandemic as a way of removing coronavirus particles from the environment of aircraft. The use of HEPA filters is a popular choice because they can capture tiny particles in the air. HEPA filters are usually made from thin fibreglass fibres that combine to trap particles in the environment. Looking to get your hands on one?
